It was already the end of August when Uncle Gai Jun and his nephew returned to Luoyang. According to the schedule, the two of them should have returned early. However, Gai Yin was seriously injured in the fierce battle and rested for a long time in Wuyuan. During this period, Gai Jun told people
I inquired about that person, but found nothing. In fact, there was no need to inquire. After adding up his age, place of origin, martial arts, etc., I came to only one conclusion...
Lu Bu! That man is Lu Bu among men!
In Gai Jun's view, Gai Yin's defeat was not unjust. Gai Yin obviously did not think so. This defeat greatly touched him, and his few words became even rarer, and he often fell into deep thought.
However, Gai Yin did not feel depressed for long, because the two of them went back to Cai Mansion to pick up A Bai, and received earth-shattering news from A Bai - she was pregnant. Yes, she knew it before they left, and she was also the one who knew it at that time.
The reason why parting is so awkward.
Gai Yin was so happy that he picked up Ah Bai and spun him around three times in front of others. As a person with a reserved personality, it was not easy for him to make such a bold move, maybe it was only once in his life.
Cai Wan and Gai Jun sat opposite each other. Seeing that he was dressed in a dusty state, he was deeply moved and softly called out: "Gai Lang..."
Gai Jun frowned and said, "Why are you looking so much paler than when you left? Could it be that you didn't take your medicine on time?"
Cai Wan shook his head and said, "I took my medicine on time. Is the journey safe?"
Gai Jun knew that Cai Wan was worried, so he answered okay. When asked about the situation on the road, he avoided the important points and spoke very casually, as if he were going on an outing, and then gave her Cai Yong's handwritten letter.
Cai Wan read it in a hurry, his eyebrows suddenly stood up, and he said angrily: "Gai Lang protected my father from being assassinated twice, why didn't I mention it?"
"Why did Cai Yilang write these things down without fear of scaring his family?" Gai Jun smiled bitterly and replied, "Wan'er, don't blame me for hiding it, I just don't want you to worry."
Seeing the red eyes in her eyes, Gai Jun hurriedly added: "Young people are trying to assassinate Yi Lang and take his dead ear. Don't they know that the person they are escorting is the famous Gai Shehu?"
Cai Wan burst into laughter, immediately stopped crying, and said angrily: "How can anyone praise me like you do?"
Gai Jun's face was full of innocence: "Why are you praising yourself? What I said was the truth."
Cai's mother came in with her daughter and son in her arms. Cai Wan called her mother and gave her the letter. Suddenly, she heard the pink and jade-carved little girl in Cai's arms shouting: "Sister, sister...hug."
"Yan'er is good." Cai Wan hugged her sister and spoke softly, with an extremely gentle expression. Cai Gui came to sit beside her, full of attachment. Being close to her siblings was once her dream, but now it has become a reality.
"Cai Wenji, this is it!" Gai Jun looked envious.
After reading the letter, Cai's mother felt happy and sad at the same time, so she got up and left. Cai Gui was six years old and had been practicing Chinese calligraphy for a long time. She also burst into tears after reading the letter. She threw herself into Cai Wan's arms and cried loudly.
Gai Jun hated men crying the most, and shouted angrily: "A man, you must cry so much! Hold it back!"
Cai Gui glanced at Gai Jun timidly with teary eyes, then turned back to her sister and choked silently. They said she had killed a tiger. She was usually very kind to him and always had a smile on her face, but she didn't expect that she would be so powerful when she got angry.
Fear naturally arises in my heart.
Cai Wan's watery eyes stared, full of blame.
Gai Jun said with a smile: "Yilang treated me as my son-in-law when we separated. Now I reprimand him as my brother-in-law. What's wrong with that?"
Cai Wan's face turned red and he looked away.
Cai Gui raised his head again and summoned up the courage to say in a childish voice: "I am not your brother-in-law, and you are not my brother-in-law."
"Ouch? Brat..."
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law..." Little Cai Yan shouted with his teeth and claws dancing.
Little Cai Yan's childish voice sounded like the sound of nature to Gai Jun's ears. He immediately turned from anger to joy, and his heart blossomed with joy. He wished he could hug the little person and kiss her deeply. "My dear sister-in-law, my brother-in-law will definitely give it to you in the future.
Find a good family."
When Abai is pregnant, it is no longer convenient to take care of Gai Jun. He gives two suggestions: one is to return to his hometown to rest and have a baby, and the other is not to buy a maid in the house. The former requires leaving Kyoto, and the latter requires a lot of money. Gai Yin and his wife are faced with
Dilemma, hesitation. Gai Jun saw the understanding between the two of them, so he smiled and chose the latter for them. To be honest, he was reluctant to let them go back to their hometown.
Money is not a problem. After he spent more than ten gold, his parents sent people to send him a lot of money. Every inch of land in Luoyang City is precious, but the housing prices in the suburbs are not expensive. It is enough to buy a large house and several people.
Servants and maids. When he was looking for a house, Yuan Shao got the news from somewhere and insisted on giving him a big house and his maids. Gai Jun smiled bitterly in his heart. The horse he was going to give to Yuan Shao died on the way. The sword favor
He has not yet paid it off, and now he is going to give him a mansion. However, after getting along with him for a long time, he knows Yuan Shao's character very well, and it is absolutely impossible to refuse him, so he has no choice but to accept it. While sighing that the most difficult thing in the world to repay is a debt of gratitude, he feels at ease and moved.
Entering a new home...
Cai Yong's disciples Shuo Fang and Gai Jun lost an important excuse to avoid Ma Rixi's lectures, and they had to endure it until the end of the year. The bitterness and pain involved cannot be appreciated by outsiders.
The first day of the new year is approaching. Last year, the first day of the first year was a critical period for Cai Wan's treatment. Gai Jun's heart was tied to her and he declined all invitations to banquets. He almost never left Cai's house. Now, although Cai Wan is depressed because of Cai Yong's apprenticeship, after all, she is no better than Cai Wan.
Last year, he accepted a lot of invitations to cocktail parties this year.
The first thing he went to was a student gathering in Xuzhou, which was held at Zuixiangfang. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Zang Hong's loud laughter.
Gai Jun raised his voice and asked: "Why is Ziyuan smiling so happily?"
"For whatever reason, the reception is just for a laugh." Zang Hong rarely made any excuses. He was in a good mood recently. First of all, his father, who was demoted to a commoner due to defeat in the war, made a successful recovery. He also confirmed that he would enter the palace as a prince later this year and officially
Embark on a career journey,
Gai Jun smiled casually and took a closer look. He saw Wang Lang among them. He walked up and said hello, then turned to Zang Hong and Chen Ni. Chen Ni was playing chess with someone. Because he had a photographic memory and a very good chess ability,
Therefore, fighting three people alone or chatting and laughing freely with others seems to be quite easy.
"Ziying, would you like to have a game?"
"No need." Gai Jun didn't even think about rejecting Chen Yi's invitation. He had no masochistic tendencies.
Chen Yi won three pieces in a row, neatly and neatly, forcing the three opponents to think hard, but he said to Gai Jun with a relaxed expression: "The eldest brother wrote to Gai Jun yesterday, saying that he was studying and fishing at home and was very unhappy. It is really enviable.
"The eldest brother Chen Yi mentioned was Zhang Hong.
Zang Hong sighed: "Compared with eldest brother, we are just common people!"
Regardless of whether the students agreed with what Zang Hong said in their hearts or not, at least on the surface they all nodded in agreement and looked like they deeply believed it.
Chen Ni added: "Elder brother mentioned Ziying in his letter and said that it was a righteous act for you to escort Cai Yilang to Shuofang. He admired you very much."
"Oh? Has this news reached Xuzhou?" Gai Jun asked. In ancient times, news was limited. He returned to Luoyang at the end of August, only four months ago.
Zang Hong smiled and said: "Not only in Xuzhou, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who doesn't know about it. People always like to hear anecdotes about famous people. You and Cai Yilang are even more famous people. It's not surprising that they spread quickly."
Gai Jun said: "I remember Gongshang once said that you entered Imperial College at the age of fourteen. It has been nearly six years now. Now that you are about to win the title, have you ever considered becoming an official?"
Zang Hong shook his head and said: "From the three ministers and nine ministers to the prefecture, the county often establishes it, but the minister never responds. I don't know what he thinks."
Chen Yi couldn't help but frown, and said slowly: "Next year."
As soon as these words came out, the room fell into silence.
"Well...I give up."
"There is no way out, it's a dead end."
"Gong Shang is very good at chess, so I surrender."
The surroundings were still eerily quiet for a while. The three chess players raised their heads and looked around blankly, "What's wrong?"
